Thats pretty much what every utd fan has been doing on here about spurs for the last two years 
Wow. Talk about missing the point.We didn’t criticise Spurs for not winning the league. We mocked their d
head fans for hailing them as the Second Coming for finishing, well, second. We pointed out that winning nothing is not very impressive. It is a bit unfair to say Spurs bottled it as they gave a good fist at chasing the leaders but ultimately failed.
At the end of the day it’s a results driven business and for all our “crap” football we’re above the chasing pack. Clearly we’re doing something right. We’ve all got far more to do to pip City to a title.
Let battle commence....next season.

Welcome back Bertie Magoo, the Bitter Blue. Can’t be happy his team’s winning, has to revert to type and spend his life getting angry at United. Can’t wait til next season as we’ll clearly do better based on your description of us.
Not sure where I've displayed anger at utd?Believe me, your club and it's fans in recent seasons have provided me with the very opposite of anger.
Even when I'm complimentary about utd you still manage to get yourself in a tizzy about my comments!
Given that I said utd are already playing to the best of their technical and tactical ability (and you appear to be agreeing with that) I'm genuinely interested to know how exactly you arrive at the conclusion that utd will ''clearly do better'' next season?...
Another new manager?
Another half a billion spent on players?
Another season when you rely on the rest of the top 6 to be remarkably inconsistent?
Still, I'll embrace your cheerily optimistic outlook and agree with you, perhaps utd will do ''better'' next season... you might even be able to keep City's lead over you into single figures,
As for being happy with my own teams success and ignoring what other teams are doing... I can only remind you again of that (club sanctioned) banner at OT,

You’re confused mike,1/2 billion is pretty close to how much more city have spent over the last 7 years than united.
City have spent marginally more than utd in the last 7 years on transfers, most generally accepted figures are around £580m for utd v £750m for City.The difference being that one of them clubs is now on an entirely different level in terms of the style of football and technical ability of their players, whilst the other club looks like it needs to spend another half a bill (and get a better manager) just to even try and compete.

Utd are a real football club; City used to be an average but genuine team and are now plastic.
G Nev has hinted at it but City really are dirty tts when winning the ball back. Symptomatic of Guardiola teams of old. So predictable. 
Added to which this match is dull as dishwater. Chelsea parking buses and City incapable of delivering more than 1 shot on target in 45 minutes. What a load of ste.

Slight exaggeration to say we're parking the bus. We haven't got it out the bus depot yet. ts when winning the ball back. Symptomatic of Guardiola teams of old. So predictable.

It's almost like watching Utd play City!ts when winning the ball back. Symptomatic of Guardiola teams of old. So predictable. Added to which this match is dull as dishwater. Chelsea parking buses and City incapable of delivering more than 1 shot on target in 45 minutes. What a load of s
te. I think the problem is that City, Liverpool and Tottenham are all so good now at retaining possession and pressing that the rest have to try and catch up with this.
The old adage that you can’t score if you don’t have the ball is true so it follows that a 75/25 split of possession will usually end with the team on 75% winning.
Possession isn’t everything but with a game finely balanced I’d bet on the team in control of the pace of the game every time.
